(Alternate Title: The Glorious LifeMain Characters: Philip Clarke, Wynn Johnston) “Oh no! If I don’t work harder, I’d have to return to the family house and inherit that monstrous family fortune.” As the heir to an elite wealthy family, Philip Clarke was troubled by this…

Arachne knew that she could gain a good status if she handled this well. It was something she had been longing for. Besides, Ariadna was clearly afraid of offending Philip, so she would do it on her behalf. Ariadna would lose all hope if Philip fell out with them. If Philip agreed to work with them, she would claim the credit and make a mark in their history. Arachne was very excited at this thought. Philip watched them talking and could tell what they said through the shapes of their mouths. They were clearly having an internal dispute. Unexpectedly, the annoying Arachne approached them at this time. “Wow, I can’t believe that you’re one of the snake people. We come from the same origins!” Arachne’s sudden friendly approach made Selma uncomfortable. “Excuse me, I don’t know you that well. Just speak your mind. We spoke to
Ariadna gritted her teeth. She could not decide this. She had to discuss it with her family. “Hold on, let me discuss with the elders of our family. After all, it’s a matter of great importance. I can’t decide by myself.” Philip smiled in understanding. This matter was indeed very important. It was reasonable for Ariadna to discuss it with her family. Ariadna returned to the crowd nervously and woke up the people deep in practice. They were taking advantage of someone else’s treasured land. Although their strength had improved by leaps and bounds, it was embarrassing. “I need to discuss something with you. Do you think we should work with Philip? They plan to explore our ancestral land.” Ariadna explained the situation without beating about the bush. Everyone was stunned and thought she was kidding. “What? Someone is planning to go to the ancestral land?” “Philip is too bold for words. What makes him think that he can return alive? Everyone knows that the place is extre
“It’d be great if we could undo our curse. I believe all of us will be grateful to you!” Ariadna rushed forward impatiently and looked at Selma expectantly. In her opinion, Selma had to know something or she would never say such a thing. “I asked Philip to help me open the ancestral land. He promised me that he'd take action after the family competition is over.” Ariadna was taken aback and doubted her ears. She never thought that Selma would put her hopes on an outsider. Although Philip was indeed powerful and seemed like a reliable person, it was a family secret that should not be made known to others. Ariadna was conflicted and at a loss for what to do. “Whether you agree with my approach or not, it’s done, so there’s no point in saying further. Every race has the right to unlock the ancestral land. You can’t stop me.” Every family shared the same concern, but Selma felt she should believe and trust Philip. Philip smiled and shook his head at Ariadna’s hesitation. Sure e
“Your friend seems unhappy with you,” Philip said aloud without mincing his words. Ariadna felt embarrassed upon hearing that. It was a conflict within their clan, so it was embarrassing for an outsider like Philip to point it out. At this time, Selma walked out and looked at the crowd in confusion, wondering why Philip brought them to her home. However, Philip had to have his reason for doing it. Selma did not ask but stood next to Philip like an obedient girl. Ariadna was jealous at this scene. An outstanding man like Philip was rare. Everyone wanted to stand by his side. “She wanted to see you, so I brought her. Although I don't know what you have to talk about, you should have a chat. “I can help you solve the problem of not absorbing Rabbit’s energy, but you need to give me something in return. I can't help you for no reason. After all, we have nothing to do with each other.” After saying that, Philip left the space for Selma and Ariadna. Although they were not of the
“Okay, since you’re willing to talk to us, we’ll oblige. I have many questions for you!” Ariadna was very excited. If possible, she wanted to avoid a fight too. She was also curious about the woman who appeared next to Philip earlier. Although Ariadna did not know her background, she found her strange. The woman gave Ariadna a sense of familiarity, as if they had the same origin. “I want to meet the woman who was with you earlier.” Ariadna looked at Philip expectantly, expressing her interest. “Why do you want to meet her?” Philip was puzzled and surprised by her request. “I sense something familiar about her.” Unlike Selma, Ariadna did not recognize the other's identity and had no idea where she came from. “Come with me. You’ll see her soon.” Philip smiled and led Ariadna to Selma’s place. Selma was quietly waiting for Philip and was so hung up that she did not run her business. The diners who wanted to catch a glimpse of Selma at all costs felt a great blow. At this tim
Arachne was baffled by their bizarre interaction. “Hey, tell me what’s going on. Do you have a connection with that woman?” Ronan pinned Arachne down when she finished speaking. A kid sucking a lollipop stood next to Philip, watching everything curiously. The spider people were angry to see Ronan pinning Arachne down and swarmed forward, ready to teach Philip a lesson. Some people set their sights on the kid. In their opinion, the kid had to be very important for Philip to keep him by his side. Thus, one guy rushed up and grabbed the kid sucking a lollipop, feeling proud of himself. “Let go of our people or we’ll show you what misery is!” In his opinion, the kid was probably Philip’s son. No one would let their kid get hurt, so Philip would definitely give in to their request. Just when he thought his plan would definitely succeed, Philip shrugged. “You’re so dumb. You might as well grab Rabbit from me.” The kid probably felt some pain, so he was very annoyed. With the lo
However, Philip treated the rabbit with such nonchalance, which filled them with envy. “Are you here for this rabbit?” Philip was puzzled. In his opinion, there was nothing special about Rabbit. Therefore, he wondered why Ariadna wanted Rabbit at the cost of her life. Although he did not have a good impression of Ariadna, he still felt that it was not worth it. Ariadna stared at Philip without answering his question because her actions should say it all. She would not bother to please him if it were not for the rabbit. “I know you’re very interested in Rabbit, but he’s my friend. I won’t let you take him for no reason.” Philip gave her a side-eye and marveled at her audacity. “As far as I know, what you mentioned about absorbing his energy is simply killing him in a different way.” Philip glanced at her in exasperation. Since she was clearly going to kill Rabbit, how could he hand Rabbit to her? Ariadna turned her head away in shame. Indeed, the creatures would die after lo
It would be great if the Wagner family could make a name for themselves in the following competition, so they wanted to please Philip. “I’m not interested in training other people’s men.” Philip declined the other party’s request. At this time, Ronan approached Philip excitedly. “I sense that woman’s presence.” Philip nodded. He felt it too. That spider woman was fast approaching them. “She should take on a human form while we’re in a human city,” Philip muttered to himself. He was afraid that she would transform at the slightest disagreement. Although Philip was not opposed to spiders, he could not imagine what the spider woman looked like in her true form. She should be much more terrifying than he imagined. Meanwhile, the spider people arrived at the scene and saw Philip standing in the crowd at a glance. Philip's appearance was so stunning that Ariadna recognized him from a distance. “The most handsome man standing in the crowd is Philip, who's our target this tim
Everyone was shocked to hear that Philip was the woman’s boss. Ariadna heard their names, but she never thought a random person they met on the street would be Philip’s subordinate. It was too much of a coincidence. When they wanted to find out more, the woman had disappeared, and everyone was annoyed. Although she had run off, they managed to get a lead. “We just need to go there to find Philip,” Webster said, easing the atmosphere. Arachne and Ariadna were at loggerheads, which was not conducive to unity. Now that they had a common enemy, they had to put other affairs aside and deal with the enemy. “Huh, what are you talking about? Common enemy? I just want to see what he looks like. Who knows if she was telling the truth? Besides, I just want to mess with that ugly woman, not the boss behind her!” Although Arachne was a little arrogant, she was sensible enough to perceive the situation. Others did not comment. Now that they knew Philip’s location, there was no need to
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital...
